Hi,

The chances of cure for a stage 2A would be 85% (this is the 5 year survival rate) if you are a woman and 79% if you are a man. The actual figures also vary depending on the number of nodes that were actually examined to determine that the nodes contained no cancer. Current recommendations would want at least 12 nodes to be examined. If only 3 nodes were examined, the chances for cure may be diminished by around 10%.
